Coffee is an integral part of Costa Rican culture. For many families, coffee farms are passed down from generation to generation. Owner and Founder, Javier Montero was lucky enough to grow up in such a family. He has fond memories of running through the coffee fields with his brothers and sisters, and helping his father with the harvest. Javier's father always kept the best coffee beans of his harvest for personal use, to have a good cup of carefully selected coffee with his family.

When Javier retired from working as a veterinarian, he and his wife decided to move to Texas where Chere was born. Married for over 26 years, Chere and Javier, shared a love for a good cup of coffee. But Javier longed for the coffee he had grown up drinking with his father, he wanted to share the tradition with his own children and began his search in the U.S. for a quality Costa Rican coffee. His search was only met with disappointment. He tried every bag of Costa Rican coffee he could find, none reminiscent of the coffee he shared with his father. Frustrated, he booked a trip back to Costa Rica, where he partnered with his childhood friend and 2 Hats Coffee Co. was born. This partnership allows them to bring the same quality coffee, Javier grew up drinking, back into their home in Texas and share it with coffee lovers around the country.

The origin of 2 Hats Coffee was given by the two cultures, the Texan cowboy hat represented by Chere and the Costa Rican farmers hat called “chonete” represented by Javier . The combination of these two hats represents not only Javier and Chere but also the duality of cultures from which 2 Hats Coffee comes. For Javier and Chere, quality coffee is about more than just a drink - it's a way of life. And they're excited to share their love of coffee with the world.
